Item Description
This item is a Hawaiian stamp, issued in 1893, and listed in Scott as Hawaii #60. Centering is good for this issue. CV $14.00. but is typical for the issue.The history of the stamp is as follows:
The stamp shows His Majesty, King Kamehameha V, the last member of the Kamehameha dynasty. This 6-cent stamp was widely used as it paid the basic letter rate between Hawai`i and the United States between 1871 and 1882, after which it was largely obsolete. (It might also have paid for lesser-used rates such as a triple weight domestic letter or heavy third-class mail.) Stamps of this design without overprint are listed in Scott as #33 or #33a.
Stocks of this issue still on hand at the time of the legally questionable overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy (January 1893) were reissued with the red "Provisional Government" overprint starting in May 1893 to make them more politically correct. The stamp with overprint is listed in Scott as #60, and still had no obvious rate to pay. It was sold largely to collectors or was used in combination with other stamps to make up specific rates.
